“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” ~President Ronald Reagan

Now is your opportunity to leave a legacy in Kentucky through your gift to the Bluegrass Institute for Public Policy Solutions as a member of the Bluegrass Institute’s Commonwealth Legacy Club.

WILLS or LIVING TRUSTS: A bequest made through your will or trust is completely free of estate tax. You can designate a specific dollar amount, specific piece of property, a percentage of your estate, or all or part of the residue of your estate. You can also name the Bluegrass Institute as a contingent beneficiary if someone in your will is no longer living at the time of your passing.

CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITIES: BIPPS welcomes your gift of cash, marketable securities, and real property either through outright gifts or through testamentary, remainder, lead, or annuity trusts. There are numerous tax advantages to these types of gifts, and BIPPS can help you understand those benefits should this be of interest to you.

LIFE INSURANCE OR RETIREMENT PLANS: The Bluegrass Institute can easily be designated a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or qualified retirement plan, such as an IRA.

REAL ESTATE AND APPRECIATED PROPERTY: You can donate a house, vacation home, farm, undeveloped land, and other types of real estate to the Bluegrass Institute. Your gift of appreciated property not only reduces your income tax, but also may reduce your taxable estate.

The Bluegrass Institute is honored by individuals who place such value on the Institute’s work. Support of the Bluegrass Institute’s Commonwealth Legacy Club will assure that future generations of Kentuckians enjoy the same freedoms that we do today. Consider joining this exclusive club!
